Product Description

Color: Blue

From the Manufacturer

The 10-megapixel Casio Exilim EX-S5 offers a new body design, customizable focusing frames and wide-screen video recording, which makes high-quality photographic functionality simpler to use than ever before. A new, high-speed image processing engine even allows moving subjects to be cut and pasted onto still backgrounds or other images.

Casio Exilim EX-S5 Highlights

Newly-developed Exilim Engine 4.0
Representing a significant upgrade from the Exilim Engine 3.0, the Exilim Engine 4.0 is a powerful electronic package comprised of an ordinary CPU and a high-speed dedicated image processing CPU. It delivers outstanding color reproduction and a rich tonal range that guarantees superior visual expression. Noise reduction at high-sensitivity levels also helps to produce high-quality, beautiful images. Even better, despite the new image combination functionality and other functions that entail complex processing, energy consumption is about 30 percent lower than before, which means longer battery life. The new engine successfully combines the pursuit of radical new functionality with improvements to many conventional camera features.

Dynamic Photo function
Thanks to the high-speed image processing capability of the new engine, a moving subject can be cut out of a number of images that have been shot and combined with a different still shot that forms the background. A unique digital camera image where only the main subject in the photo is moving can be created using just the camera, with no editing on a computer.

Tracking AF
Using the image analysis technology in the new engine, the ability of the auto focus function to automatically follow a moving subject has been refined. In addition to improvements to the accuracy of auto focus tracking, when a subject leaves the frame the camera makes a record of it, and when the same subject once again enters the frame it is recognized by the camera, and auto focusing is resumed.

Makeup function
In addition to recognizing faces and adjusting focus and exposure accordingly, the S5 can make adjustments to smooth skin in images and soften facial shadows caused by sunlight, creating beautiful photographs of people’s faces. The photographer can choose from one of twelve levels of skin beauty using different strengths of image processing, and can shoot after viewing the results in the LCD monitor.

HD Movie function
Just by pressing the dedicated movie button, the S5 will record beautiful HD movies at a size of 1280x720 pixels.

I just bought my 2nd Casio Exilim camera.The 6mp that I lost,did such nice job,I figured I couldn't go wrong with 10mp.I have not been disappointed.This camera does everything the competition does for less.The setup is easy and the pictures are nice and crisp.The size is perfect and the styling is attractive.The on/off button is kind of tricky for big hands and fingers.Overall this is an excellent camera and I would reccomend it to my friends.

I gave this camera as a birthday gift to my wife. We both love the little digicam. She needed a very compact camera to fit in her purse, but she also wanted zoom capability and excellent image quality. The credit card-sized exilim gave her everything she wanted. My wife ignored the instructions. She just switched the thing on and started taking pictures. It really is that easy to use. 5-stars all around.

This review is from: Casio Exilim EX-S5 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Blue) (Electronics)

My main problem is that sometimes this camera just freezes. For example, when I am switching from "rec" view (take a picture) to "view" look at shots. The lens is supposed to retract, but it just freezes.

The only fix I have found is to remove the memory card and re-insert it. Then press the (TINY) power button. That fixes the lens, but then I get an error message telling me to repower again. The second try works.

So is this the camera software, or some glitch in the camera-memory card hardware?

I also have a problem remembering which button to push to get to the flash adjustment. I often want to turn the flash off or use redeye reduction.
